President Muhammadu Buhari on Friday charged the rescued students of Government Science Secondary School, Kankara, in Katsina State to remain focused and forget what happened to them.
The president while addressing the students alongside Governor Aminu Masari at the Katsina State Government House on Friday said the students should not be discouraged by what happened to them, urging them to remain focused in the pursuit of education.
He told the students that he spent nine years in a boarding school, urging them to exercise patience in their educational pursuits.
The President, who reportedly spoke in Hausa language said: “This school where you were abducted is a science school, don’t be discouraged. The future is brighter for science and technology students like you than those who read History and English.
“Forget what happened, at the end of the day, you will succeed. Those who are patient are successful and satisfied people.
“I was a governor, minister, president and prisoner. I later ventured into politics, I went to the Supreme Court three times before God in his infinite mercy made me the president.

“I just came from home (Daura). I have relations that didn’t go to school and their cows have finished and there is not enough land for farming. Me that went to school, see where God brought me.
“For this reason, you have to go to school and acquire education, including religious knowledge to the best of your ability so that you can know how to interact with the larger world and your immediate families,” Premium Times quotes the President as saying.
“I personally came to see you and rejoice with you after your release from this calamity. I am happy with how the Katsina governor handled the situation leading to your release.
“Try your best and study hard and succeed, I am committed toward building a better Nigeria for you,” he added.
The students were abducted from their school last Friday and released on Thursday night.
